Anyone else not been able to sleep at all since finding out? My nights and days are completely off! I stay up all night .. tossing and turning if I’m not sick I just feel restless or like I have to pee to much to sleep or I crave something so bad I stay up thinking about it.. I’m about to go back to work and it’ll be in the mornings so there’s no way this can continue.

I haven't slept properly in weeks! Over the last 48 hours I've had roughly 3 hours sleep (even after working 10 hours each day) in the UK we are having a heatwave and it's absolutely awful...... Even at night it's bloody hot :( I've resorted to laying on my sofa all night with the window and back door open lol.

@Kats_34 I’m also in the uk doing the back door and windows technique, until last night when I had 2 little guests ( hedgehogs) frightened the life out of me! Pattering into my living room... my dog chased them out and now I have to resort to just windows open it’s too hot!

I’ve just entered the difficult to sleep phase. With waking up about 3 times a night feeling nauseous, dehydrated, and having to pee. So far, my remedy is get up and pee, have a small snack (nuts), drink some water, pop a mint and splash some water on my face. Also, peppermint essential oil just to smell has helped change my racing mind and achy body to thinking about something else.

My remedies seem to change every couple days with new symptoms that arise! I keep saying, “my body is doing what it needs to do to keep baby developing” and “just trust this process.” Honestly, sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t.

for those ladies too hot for sleep, wet a facewasher with cool tap water and run it over your exposed skin, get a nice breeze / fan on you while you do this. will cool you right down but not so much you will shiver (which just warms your right back up). best spots are the head, back of the neck, arm pits and where your groin meets your legs.
